As Newcastle United overcame a deficit to overcome Nottingham Forest 3-1 in their Premier League match at the City Ground on Sunday, Joelinton, a striker for Newcastle United, scored his first goal since August, capping off his hosts' impressive recent run.
Defender Murillo had given Forest the lead in the first half, but Newcastle placed more pressure on after going behind, and after 54 minutes, Alexander Isak struck for the fourth straight game to tie the score for the visitors. After then, both teams had chances, but only Newcastle scored when Harvey Barnes added a late third goal and Joelinton curled a shot from the box's edge into the bottom corner. Forest's three-game winning streak in the league comes to an end, but they remain third in the standings with 19 points from 11 games, while Newcastle moves up to eighth place with 18.
